Carmex is the only thing that helps me.

Have you tried just plain vaseline?

Thanks guys!

I thought Carmex was only for cold sores? I have some of this in the house & will try it tonight!

I've been putting globs of vaseline on before I go to bed and so far no luck.

try gently exfoliating them with a toothbrush or a washcloth before you put anything on them

We use A&D ointment. Works like a charm. I also use it on my hands with gloves for excema.

Target sells little squeeze tubes of advanced formula petroleum jelly. I was sick last week and had really bad chapped lips and this stuff worked great!

I love Carmex too, my lips are a mess without it.

Thanks guys!

I don't get cold sores, my parents just used it on me for chapped lips since I was a wee little thing. Use the tub though, the chap stick version doesn't work nearly as well.

You could try aquafor. Its sold in the lotion isle. I have a son that gets chapped/bleeding skin on his chin/lips every year. We started using this at night and mornings and then he uses carmex/blistex tube during the day at school.

When my lips get extremely chapped, I will apply Mentholatum or Vicks VapoRub to them at bedtime. It's stinky stuff, but it works overnight for me. I have never used anything that works so well, so fast.

I use Carmex. They make it in cherry too now.

Once they heal, try Avon Lip Conditioner w/ spf. I swear by it. My lips used to be so chapped in the winter and since I've been using this every day(under lipstick or alone) my lips are soft and never chapped.

When I was a special ed teacher I had a self contained autism room. They sent me KY jelly. I would put it up and laugh about why they were sending me this stuff. Turns out it was for chapping. It's a water base so it's not as irritating as petroleum based products and it actually adds moisture to chapped skin and lips, while it protects. Don't use a ton but just enough to wet the lips or skin. It actually works really well. Not that I want to carry a tube around in my purse to use, but it might work better overnight than the vasiline or mentholatum.

Personally I use Cliniques moisture balm. It's great, but pricey.

I exfoliate with a tooth brush then use carmex.

FWIW, I use chapstick every night when I go to bed....year round. Never have a problem. I keep a 'stick' in my purse too...just in case.

For all you Carmex lovers: MAC Cosmetics: Lip Conditioner Hydrant (the one without the sunscreen) this stuff is the best lip goo on the planet. Little spendy $14 or so, last forever and heals dry chapped lips like nothing I have ever seen.

Gotta love those MAC products. Wish they weren't so gosh-darn expensive though.

Neosporin Lip Treatment is THE BEST! I put it on each night. During the day I use Blistex Medicated Lip Ointment (red box, white tube).
